DS is 2.6 and dropping his nap. I have been advised on here to have quiet time for an hour instead of sleep. My DS is very capable of understanding what is expected of him and very good at ignoring it when he feels like it. He liked the sound of sitting in bed with his teddies and some books but now he is jumping up and down like the duracell bunny, throwing toys around and singing at the top of his lungs. Interspersed with 'mummy come here and play, mummy come here'. This is not quiet time. What I forsee happening is him over exciting himself and then needing a bloody nap after all, 2 hours too late!
Only option I can see is beebies which I really don't want to resort to, but I know it's the only way he'll relax quietly.
help!
